** Thankfully, the GBA port added in a dash button to make up for the original's horrifically slow walking speed, which made dungeons a ''little'' less painful. Unfortunately, the egregiously high encounter rate kind of counteracts that. |

* ''[[Breath of Fire]]: Dragon Quarter'' has a particularly painful version. Using D-Dash too much fills the D-counter and causes a [[Nonstandard Game Over]]. Thankfully using it in short bursts to charge through the [[Preexisting Encounters]] to avoid fighting them hardly increases it. |

* ''[[Chrono Cross (Video Game)|Chrono Cross]]'' has an interesting variation in the Time Shifter, which you receive automatically at the beginning of a [[New Game+]]. If you hold down R2, it literally fast-forwards ''everything''- you, your enemies, dialogue, the environment, etc., both during and outside of battle (with the exception of pre-rendered cutscenes and, thankfully, the background music). It can also slow everything down in a similar manner, which is the easiest method of completing the feeding mini-game's hardest difficulty. |

* In ''[[Dark Cloud (Video Game)|Dark Cloud]]'', there's an item called Dran's Feather (Dran being your hometown's winged protector) that allows the player to run much faster in dungeons. They break after excessive use, and it's very annoying if you don't have spares with you when it happens. In towns, one can "teleport" from a place to another by using the Georama view. |

* ''[[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Deus Ex]]'' had a fast running nanoaugmentation, which not only allowed for swift running, but high and long jumps, surviving high falls, and crawling much faster than normal. It and regeneration are two of the most powerful augs in the game. |

** ''[[Dark Forces Saga (Video Game)|Jedi Outcast]]'' turned Force Speed into [[Bullet Time]] in the single-player game. Although more useful for actual fighting, it was worthless for getting somewhere faster--as in multiplayer, you did get an overall speed boost, but you rarely had anywhere to go. |

* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Tales of Symphonia]]'', you can equip characters with EX gems that do various things. If you equip a "personal" gem to Lloyd, you move significantly faster in "dungeons and towns" (read: anything that's not the overworld map). And on the overworld map, you can activate "long-range" mode if you've found the appropriate map, and later on you get flying vehicles which are much faster, can go anywhere, and subject you to no enemies. |
